To all 'whom (it may concern.' Be it known that I, SAMUELWLK, va subject-ofthe Russian Government, residing at ADorchester, -in thevcountyof*Suffolk and State of Massachusetts,V have: inyented an Improvement in' Scrapers, 'of which the following is a s1@ecirmiti'on.

VThis invention relates to VScrapersfand particularly to roofers Scrapers; land has forits object'toprovideY ia- 'scraper of 'improved and inexpensive' and-effective 'construction. f Fig. 1 is a front'elevation,ffpartially in section, 'of a vscraper embodying the invention.

jFig. 2 is a sid'eelevation.of'V Fig. 1.

(Fig. 3 isa sectional detail illustrating fthe `manner of joining' the side Vplates and the top Yand bottom holding-plates. p

Fig/i is a plan view of a scraper blade.

Fig. 5 is a side view of a vmodified form ofscraper. f A

The scraper heref shown. comprises a han- 'dle 10 with meansat vtheflower Aend thereof. `to hold adjustablywai-cut'ting blade 1-1 with the forwardV end' thereof'exp'osed for service. Said blade 11 Ais usuallyformedf of a relatively thin plate of steel;l The Aholding means for said plate comprises .the .two

approximately parallel 'fiat holding plates 12 which, preferably,'rliave 'afwidthfsubstanti-ally equal to the width of the blade 11. Said yplates v12Lare integrally connected at their upper ends and are spaced apart to a distance approximately 'equal' to the thickness of said blade, whereby to provide a pocket or channel 13 in which said blade 11 is received. Said blade is adapted to extend forwardly beyond the lower edges of said plates 12; and the forward edges of said plates may be chamfered or relieved as indicated at 14.. l

Preferably said plates 12 are integrally united at the upper ends thereof. For thisVv purpose a spacer plateV 15 may be disposed between said plates 12 and extended substantially co-extensive the width of said plates. Said plates 12 and 15 may be integrally united by suitable means as for instance welding a metal bonding material 16 to all of said plates around the top and upper portions of the side edges thereof. Said handle 10 is or may be formed with a recess or slot in the lower end portion thereof in which said plates 12and15 received and said handle and plates may be: secured together as by welding a suitablev metal binder 17thereto. Viith this varingf'plates 12 ,and against lateral ,displacement, therein. Said means Vmay comprise theside plates 18 which are disposed 'against the'side edges of the plates 12, at the vlmver portion thereof,and which, preferably, are

welded and united to saidfplates 12 by thev metalbinder 19.A Said cutting blade 11 is subjectv to wear and meansare provided to Yextend saldi knife outwardly beyond vthe lower Uedge ofthe holding means Vwhereby to reconditionthe device for further effective service. Said means maycomprise a lplurality of sets of. aligned holes 2O in the lower vportion of saidfplates 12. Saidcutaligned with any of saidjset ofholes V2O. 'A bolt 22 isfadapted to be passedthrough `ting blade 11', 4is formedwith a single hole 'i 421 therethrough which isV adapted to vbe i21-I-therein g may, ybe aligned -j with the fiiext lowermost set of holes 20`in`the' plates 12V andthe bolt 22 passed through said aligned holes and fixed-in position.

In lieu of forming the holdingl means of two separate plates 12 which are integrally united by means of the spacer plate '15 and the binding material 16, said holding-means may be made of a single strip of material reflexed upon itself to provide the side plates 12a which are integrally connected through the connecting and separating refiexed portion 15a, as illustrated in Fig. 5. The construction illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, however, is preferred by reason of reduced manufacturing expense and the superior product formed.

The scraper. herewith described is manufactured from its separate parts united mainly by autogenous welding to form a device all parts of which are, in eect, integral and the scraper, thereby, may possess parallel holding the strength of one machined out of solid material, and be materially less expensive to manufacture.
